FC Cornerstone recently visited Zimbabwe and whilst they were on their trip they donated a number of kits to various different destinations. The majority of the kit was donated to the Kadoma Youth football academy as well as 2 schools in the township of Rimuka.

The kit in demand was that of Liverpool FC, these were shared between the Tariro childrens home and the Moses Chunga academy. Whilst the kit of FC United of Manchester found a new home with the Moses Chunga academy as well. A home was even found for a signed Norway ladies international shirt for a female football enthusiast. Below is some pictures of the trip and the happy new owners of some top class kit.

We are very grateful to Simon Wheeler from Stylographics in
Watford, for designing and producing our very first KitAid drop box.

Simon heard about our work and decided to offer his help, which
we are extremely grateful for. We have always struggled to provide
professional looking collection boxes and these are fantastic. We
collected the very first box yesterday and look forward to receiving a few more
over the coming weeks.

Stylographics have done us proud and we recommend them for all
of your business needs!!!

Welcome to KitAid's blog

Registered charity no. 1113968

This little boy in a tattered Liverpool shirt was the catalyst to KitAid in 1998. Following a trip to Tanzania with WaterAid by Derrick Williams, KitAid was formed and the charity has grown steadily over the years from sending one box to the tiny village in Tanzania to this year donating 100,000 football kits to children and adults in some of the poorest countries in the World.

Many of these kits have been loved by children and adults in the UK and are now being loved again by people, thousands of miles away. Bringing us together is the passion for football and big smiles on our faces.
